Voted a winner, now you can win too

The writers website and forum, Bibliophilia is hosting a competition for its members to win a print or e-book copy of ARIA: Left Luggage and a T-shirt! The site’s front page has a link to the video trailer too. See http://www.bibliophilia.org/

The second book in the trilogy has been edited and is undergoing its final proofread as we speak. Hopefully it will be ready for publication this spring. Andy Bigwood has been working on the cover art and I can show you the latest version here.

The Grail

View to the Cheshire hills from my bike near Penyffordd

My fault for not checking but a nice surprise to find my short horror story, Witch’s Alien, was awarded third place in the winter competition at The Grail. This is a forum for mainly literary writers, many of whom I know from other forums such as Cafe Doom and Bibliophilia.  So what did I do with my prize money? Paid for my 2009 subscription! Congratulations to Patsy and Rachel for coming first and second in the Grail competition.

For the first Sunday for four weeks I was able to do a 30 miles cycle ride to Pontybodkin and back to Chester without rain, without slipsliding on ice and no fog! See the photo I took enroute. So I was able to rotate my legs and think of subplotting in my Xaghra’s Revenge novel in progress. Nearly finished, only a month or two to go.

Exit is now at Amazon.co.uk presumably because of the third party booksellers that now stock it. Not yet at Barnes & Noble. I have several copies now for signed orders. Anyone who wants a signed copy and lives in the British Isles can have one from me for £12 and only a tiny bit more from the rest of the world. Send me an email via my website. http://geoffnelder.com

I’ve asked the Guardian if Eric Brown can review it. There are good reviews posted already at Bibliophilia forum by ~bintarab http://www.bibliophilia.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=854
